MultiVersus Is Coming to Evo 2022
Fans have been wondering if Warner Bros.’ crossover fighter MultiVersus would be included in the official lineup for Evo 2022. The game was scheduled for a release this year and recently Player First Games has now confirmed that MultiVersus will be included in the event with a $100 000 prize pool.
